LED Light Strip
I used this remote controlled USB powered LED light strip off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KXUX6SO (I only used 2 of the 4 light strip segments)
Any old remote control LED strip should work.
Print Instructions
Each piece was printed using 0.2mm layer height, 15% infill, and 3 perimeters (walls). I printed the box and bottom using Prusament Galaxy Black and Printed Solid “Clear” PETG for the diffuser. I do not recommend using a very dark color for the diffuser as it might not allow enough light through.
I had warping issues with the bottom and diffuser. I recommend using a brim and making sure your build plate is clean.
Due to the overhangs on the main box, you will need to use supports. Luckily PrusaSlicer 2.6 alpha released recently and I was able to use the new organic supports (I've included photos of how I oriented the box and how the supports turned out). The organic supports were super easy to remove and none of the lettering broke when removing them (although I would be careful when removing the supports from thin areas of the letters).
There's 0.25mm of clearance between the box and bottom when the bottom slides into place. Even with the warping I experienced on my bottom piece it slides in fairly easy.
Assembly
I recommend gluing the diffuser in first. There's a shallow cutout on the inside of the box where the diffuser piece fits in. I wrapped the LED strip around the inside of the box and threaded the power cord out of one of the outlet holes.
